The OrIgIn of this monograph is a course entitled "Semantics directed Compiler Generation" which Professor Neil D. Jones gave in 1982 at Copenhagen University, where I was a student at the time. In this course, he described a compiler generator, called CERES, which he was developing. I immediately felt attracted to the unusual combination of mathematical reasoning about com pilers and the small intricate building blocks that made up the running system. As I came to understand the system I discovered that within the existing mathematical framework one could express compiler generation as a special case of compilation; this led to a specification of a compiler generator which was bootstrapped on itself resulting in a machine-generated compiler generator. The purpose of this monograph is to describe the CERES system we produced in 1983-84 and compare it with other systems, includ ing more recent ones. Also, it is as relevant today as it was then to discuss the role of compiler generators as an aid in the design and implementation of programming languages; this I do in Chap. 5. This monograph is a strongly revised version of the cando scient.
Advances and problems in the field of compiler compilers are considered in this volume, which presents the proceedings of the third in a series of biannual workshops on compiler compilers. Selected papers address the topics of requirements, properties, and theoretical aspects of compiler compilers as well as tools and metatools for software engineering. The 23 papers cover a wide spectrum in the field of compiler compilers, ranging from overviews of new compiler compilers for generating quality compilers to special problems of code generation and optimization. Aspects of compilers for parallel systems and knowledge-based development tools are also discussed.
This book is a detailed account of the Synthesizer Generator, a system for creat ing specialized editors that are customized for editing particular languages. The book is intended for those with an interest in software tools and in methods for building interactive systems. It is a must for people who are using the Syn thesizer Generator to build editors because it provides extensive discussions of how to write editor specifications. The book should also be valuable for people who are building specialized editors "by hand," without using an editor generating tool. The need to manage the development of large software systems is one of the most pressing problems faced by computer programmers. An important aspect of this problem is the design of new tools to aid interactive program develop ment. The Synthesizer Generator permits one to create specialized editors that are tailored for editing a particular language. In program editors built with the Synthesizer Generator, knowledge about the language is used to continuously assess whether a program contains errors and to determine where such errors occur. The information is then displayed on the terminal screen to provide feed back to the programmer as the program is developed and modified.
For a long time compiler construction was considered an operation to be carried out by only a few skilled specialists. However, over the past decade, numerous theoretical advances have led to a methodology of compiler writing as well as to tools for automatic and semi-automatic compiler construction. This book is the result of an advanced course sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities and the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique. The course 'Methods and Tools for Compiler Construction' was held in Rocquencourt in December 1983. The volume places its emphasis on specific areas where significant improvements have been made, including attribute grammars, compilation from semantic definitions. code generation and optimization and Ada compiling.
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Compiler Construction, CC '96, held in Linköping, Sweden in April 1996. The 23 revised full papers included were selected from a total of 57 submissions; also included is an invited paper by William Waite entitled "Compiler Construction: Craftsmanship or Engineering?". The book reports the state of the art in the area of theoretical foundations and design of compilers; among the topics addressed are program transformation, software pipelining, compiler optimization, program analysis, program inference, partial evaluation, implementational aspects, and object-oriented compilers.
The International Workshop on Compiler Construction provides a forum for thepresentation and discussion of recent developments in the area of compiler construction. Its scope ranges from compilation methods and tools to implementation techniques for specific requirements of languages and target architectures. This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 4th International Workshop on Compiler Construction, CC '92, held in Paderborn, Germany, October 5-7, 1992. The papers present recent developments on such topics as structural and semantic analysis, code generation and optimization, and compilation for parallel architectures and for functional, logical, and application languages.
